Cleveland C24173 Spotting Drill Set 90 Deg 6 Pc Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C24173 is a 6-piece spotting drill set designed to accurately locate and start holes before drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, these spotting drills maintain a consistent 90-degree point angle across the full range of included sizes. The set covers body diameters from 1/4 inch to 1 inch, giving machinists and toolroom technicians a complete selection for common hole-starting applications. All six drills cut in a right-hand direction and are packaged in a protective storage case. This set is appropriate for use on a wide range of workpiece materials where precise hole location and clean entry are required.

Spotting drills in this set are suited for manual and CNC machine tool applications in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments. The 90-degree point angle is a widely used geometry for initiating holes that will be finished by twist drills, reamers, or other rotary cutting tools. The included storage case keeps all six pieces organized and protected when not in use, reducing the risk of edge damage between setups.

Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure workpieces firmly to prevent movement during the spotting operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when setting speeds and feeds.
